SUMMARY
=======

In a multiple-site environment, sites other than the site where LinkAge Message
Exchange is installed need the proxy generator and the address template to send
and receive mail with the connected systems.

The following steps are necessary to install the proxy generator and the address
template for the LinkAge Exchange-SNADS Connector on a site that is separate
from the site where the connector is installed.

1. The following files are required for these steps and can be obtained from the
  C:\Linkage\Install directory, located on the currently installed LinkAge
  connector.

   - Mexitmpl.exe

   - Mexiaddr.exe

   - Ibmpxgen.dll

   - Ibmscr.blt

   - Ibmadt.blt

   - Ibmadt.hlp

2. Create a C:\Linkage\Install directory on the Exchange Server computer in the
  site where the proxy generator and the address template are to be installed,
  and copy the above files into this directory.

3. Create the following directory where the SNADS proxy address generator will
  exist:

  \\MEXServerName\Address\SNADS\I386

4. Copy the following file into the directory created in step 3:

  Ibmpxgen.dll

5. To install the SNADS address template on the Exchange Server computer, run
  the following command from the C:\Linkage\Install directory:

  mexitmpl "/org=MEXOrganization" "/site=MEXSite"
  "/Server=MEXServerName"
  /ADDRTYPE=SNADS /SYNTAX=c:\linkage\install\ibmscr.blt
  /ADDRESS_DT=c:\linkage\install\ibmadt.blt /LANGUAGE=409
  /FILE=c:\linkage\install\ibmadt.hlp
  /DATA16=c:\linkage\install\ibmadt.hlp
  /DATA32=c:\linkage\install\ibmadt.hlp /SF

6. Check the following files to see if any errors occurred with the above
  command:

   - Lmeistat.txt

   - Lmeilog.txt

7. To install the proxy address rule and to optionally generate proxy addresses,
  run the following command from the C:\Linkage\Install directory:

  mexiaddr "/org=MEXOrganization" "/site=MEXSite"
  /Server=MEXServerName"
  /ADDRTYPE=SNADS /MACHINE=I386 "/PROXYRULE=SNADS:nodeid(&m)"
  /PROXYDLL=c:\linkage\install\ibmpxgen.dll /SF

  Replace nodeid with the node ID assigned to the connector.

  If proxy addresses are NOT to be generated, then insert /NOGENADDR before the
  /SF.

8. Check the following file to see if any errors occurred with the above
  command:

   - Lmeistat.txt

   - Lmeilog.txt
